Have you ever wondered why brilliant strategies fail, despite all the right data and planning?

 

In this eye-opening episode of the Success x Happiness Podcast, we sit down with Daniel Murray, author of The Empathy Gap and keynote speaker, to explore why empathy is not a “soft” skill, it’s the foundation of effective leadership.

 

Daniel shares his journey from the corporate world to becoming a strategist focused on human connection. You’ll discover:

 

– Why high-performing teams depend on trust and vulnerability

– How to give hard feedback with empathy

– Why emotional awareness is critical in data-driven environments

– The link between empathy and decision-making

 

Whether you’re a CEO, coach, or parent, this conversation will shift how you think about leadership forever.
